I can't help but feel for the plight of
the wolf since no animal has been persecuted so cruelly throughout
history and continues to be to this day. I believe my choice of title
would seem self-explanatory.

The wolf portrayed in this painting lives at
Kisma Preserve in Mount Desert, Maine. The animals living at the
preserve ended up there because of human greed. This particular wolf
was taken as a pup and unfortunately, due to his age and tameness,
would never be able to survive if released back into the wild.

I had the opportunity to meet and photograph him
and his cage mate last August so watch for more wolf paintings to
come!
